Stay in touch with the PlayStation Messages App for iOS and Android

As the old saying goes: one app is never enough, so why not have another? Sony’s PlayStation Network messaging feature has been removed from the PlayStation app, opting to create a standalone PlayStation Messages app to complement it. Available right now for iOS and Android devices, the free download promises to help you “connect with your friends faster and easier than ever.”

If you download the software for your smartphone or tablet, you can control your friends, send messages, upload photos and much more. It’s a shame the Japanese giant couldn’t keep all of this under one umbrella, as you’ll still need the PlayStation app to manage downloads on your PlayStation 4. But it’s good enough for Facebook, right?
